telperion_15 is one lucky girl! What a fabulous birthday present! :-) I enjoyed this fic very much. I love stories in which characters with an antagonistic relationship are forced to work together and/or realize that there's a mutual attraction. I really like the way you start the story with what initially seems to be dark thoughts from Lester but then reveal how Nick and Lester get together through flashback. It's sweet that Lester is taken by surprise when Nick wraps his arms around him and obviously doesn't regret that they slept together.
